Our house decided to buy a keg, and here’s why you should too

Did it for the schlitz and giggles


After 10 minutes after our most recent house screening of Fresh Meat, we were on the phone to Exeter Brewery.

Laundry room doubling up nicely as our storeroom

The episode which sees Vod rolling a keg into 28 Hartnell Avenue got us thinking: could we actually get a keg?

It turns out, it’s perfectly possible. Here’s why you should:

Stand out from the crowd

We may not be serving punch which is essentially lemonade with a hint of spirit – but we can promise you a pint or two if you spare some change. You can even pour it yourself (but we’ll be watching).

Tapping the keg, aka putting our wilko’s knife block to good use

Your party will be, by default, legendary

‘Do you remember that time we went to a house party where they had their own brewery in the back? Who are these people?’

Everyone will want some keg action

Because you can

All you need is some willing participants, access to a car and a bit of man power.

This could be you

The cost

Want to have the cheapest night in you ever had? Here is how to do just that. While £94 seems steep, you get around 72 pints of ale. That’s less than £1.50 a pint.

It doesn’t taste that bad

The ale got a thumbs up from our biggest resident ale expert. For those who prefer something a little sweeter, a dash of squash can sort you out with a pleasant beverage that won’t leave you gagging.

Cheers

One for the memory bank… What are you waiting for?
